Exercise 1.1

Performing a Clean Installation

Overview

In this exercise, you install Windows Server 2012 R2 on a new

computer with no previously installed operating system.

Mindset

In many cases, organizations purchase servers without operating systems
installed—sometimes called bare metal servers—either because they have
an existing license agreement or because they intend to purchase the OS
through another channel. In these cases, you perform what is known as a
clean operating system installation, which is a procedure that creates a new
server with its default operating system settings.

Completion time

15. Click Restart Now. The system restarts.
End of exercise. You can leave the windows open for the next exercise.

Exercise 1.2

Performing an Upgrade Installation

Overview

In this exercise, you install Windows Server 2012 R2 on a computer
running Windows Server 2008 R2.

Mindset

Assuming that a server meets all the requirements and has compatible
drivers and applications installed, it is possible to perform an in-place
upgrade, which retains all the system’s software, data, and configuration
settings. However, the more complex the server configuration, the more
likely it will be for incompatibilities to arise, resulting in an end result that
is unstable or otherwise problematic.

Completion time

20 minutes

1. Select the SERVERB computer, which loads Windows Server 2008 R2 and displays the
Server Manager console.
2. Using Server Manager, determine which roles are installed on the server and make a note
of them in the space on your worksheet.

3. Click Start > Run. The Run dialog box appears.
4. In the Open text box, type d:\setup.exe and click OK. The Windows Setup window for
Windows Server 2012 R2 appears.

Under what conditions would the Upgrade option not be
available to you during the Windows Server 2012 R2
installation process?

10. Review the compatibility information provided and click Next. The Upgrading Windows
page appears.

Question

4

The compatibility notes that appear during this exercise are
recommendations; they do not prevent you from performing
the upgrade. However, in a real-world upgrade situation, this
might not be the case. Give an example of a compatibility
note that will stop the upgrade process and force you to take
action before restarting the installation.

NOTE

11. The upgrade process installs Windows Server 2012 R2 and any compatible applications
that existed on the server before you began the upgrade. The computer restarts several
times and ends up on the main logon screen.
The length of time required for the Windows Server 2012 R2
upgrade process can be 20 minutes or more, depending on
the number and type of applications, files, and configuration
settings on the computer at the outset.

12. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del and log on using the Administrator account and the password
Pa$$w0rd. The Windows Server 2012 R2 desktop appears and Server Manager loads.
13. Click Local Server in the left pane, take a screen shot of the Properties window by
pressing Alt+Prt Scr, and then paste it into your Lab 1 worksheet file in the page
provided by pressing Ctrl+V.


6 Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012 R2
14. Using Server Manager, determine which roles are installed on the server and make a note
of them in the space on your worksheet.

Question
5

What proof do you have that the procedure just completed
has upgraded the operating system on the computer and not
just performed a new, clean installation?

End of exercise. You can leave the windows open for the next exercise.

Exercise 1.3

Installing Windows Server Migration Tools

Overview

In this exercise, you install the Windows Server Migration Tools,
which enable you to migrate roles from an existing server to a new
server running Windows Server 2012 R2.

Mindset

Compared to an in-place upgrade, a side-to-side migration is a more
complex procedure, but usually results in a more stable server
configuration. Windows Server 2012 R2 includes tools that facilitate the
migration of certain roles, but before you can use them, you must deploy
those tools on both the source and the destination server.

Completion time

10 minutes

1. Select the SERVERA computer, on which you installed Windows Server 2012 R2,
previously in this lab. SERVERA will be the destination server in the migration.
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del. The Windows login page appears, with the Administrator user
account.
3. In the Password text box, type Pa$$w0rd and press Enter. The Server Manager console
loads.
4. In Server Manager, click Manage > Add Roles and Features. The Add Roles and
Features Wizard appears, displaying the Before you begin page.
5. Click Next. The Select installation type page appears.
6. Click Next to accept the default Role-based or feature-based installation type. The Select
destination server page appears.

10. Click Install. The wizard installs the Windows Server Migration Tools feature.
11. When the installation is completed, click Close. The wizard closes.
12. To install the Windows Server Migration Tools on SERVERC, the source server in the
migration, you must create a distribution folder on SERVERA and populate it with the
installation files for the tools. To create a distribution folder for the Windows Server
Migration Tools on SERVERA, right-click the Start button and select Command Prompt

(Admin). A Command Prompt window appears.

Question
6

Why can you not install the Server Migration Tools to the
server running Windows Server 2008 R2 using the Add
Roles and Features Wizard on your server running Windows
Server 2012 R2?

13. At the prompt, type cd \windows\system32\ServerMigrationTools and press Enter.
14. At the prompt, type SmigDeploy.exe/package/architecture “amd64”/os WS08R2/path
“C:\users” and press Enter. The program creates the Windows Server Deployment Tools
distribution folder in the specified location.


8 Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012 R2
15. Take a screen shot of the Command Prompt window by pressing Alt+Prt Scr and then
paste it into your Lab 1 worksheet file in the page provided by pressing Ctrl+V.
16. To share the distribution folder, in the Command Prompt window, type net share
WSMT=C:\Users.
End of exercise. You can leave the windows open for the next exercise.

Lab
Challenge

Accessing a WSMT Distribution Point

Overview

After completing Exercise 1.3, a user on SERVERC, the source server
for the migration, can access the installation files for the Windows
Server Migration Tools from the distribution point on the destination
server, SERVERA.

Mindset

After creating a distribution point for the Windows Server Migration Tools
on the server running Windows Server 2012 R2, the source SERVERC can
access the distribution point over the network, or by copying the files on a
portable storage device.

Completion time

10 minutes

HINT

To complete the challenge, you must install the Windows Server Migration Tools on
SERVERC by accessing the shared distribution folder on SERVERA and running the
Smigdeploy.exe program with no parameters from an Administrative command prompt. Then,
take a screen shot of the Command Prompt window by pressing Alt+Prt Scr and paste it into
your Lab 1 worksheet file in the page provided by pressing Ctrl+V.

End of lab.

The distribution folder is already shared on SERVERA, but
before SERVERC can access the share, you must turn on
File and Printer Sharing on SERVERA.
